T N TNI' (lavs heforc the war, tlio Unitod States military A niai-)iiiiyas pci'linps tlio niost perfect cxamiju1 ol boiie-lieadediii'ss extant. Ruled ly preeedent, red-tajie and formula, the self-satisfied stilted stiffs in control re jected one after another the American inventions -that rev olutionized warfare and modernized the armies of Europe. Jt was the most difficult thing in the' world to introduce innovations. -. Ail Aniericah invented the submarine1 and our mili tarists refused to see anv merit in it until France utilized it, and Ucrinan stole her plans to create the pirate of the seven seas. An American invented the airship and Amer ica was the laggard among the great nations in aerial war fare. American inventors of the repeating rifle, the ma chine gun, and numerous other equipment were all turned down bv the American military machine and forced to market their inventions'abroad. Kvcu the American cati pillar tractor was left for the Hritish to utilie as a tank. Happily, however, this condition has passed and prpb- alily with the democratizing of our armv and navv passed forever. The inventor now has no difficulty in se curing n hearing and suggestions are welcomed from all sources. It is no longer necessary for our Maxims' and Lewis' to go abroad to be appreciated. And our inventors are making our military machine the most modern in the world. ' . SecretaiT Baker, General Pershing, or whoever is re sponsible, is displaying a lot of common sense, localizing the loudness ol: the American negro lor the razor and the deadliness of the Philippine bolo as a weapon in hand-to-hand fighting, our. negro troops are armed with a combina tion razor-bolo, said to be most effective and a source of terror to the Nr.:). And the boys in the trenches and dug outs arc supplied witii tliat Tamiiiar western weapon, a perfected sawed-off riot "pump" shotgun, each spraying 4;)0 slugs a minute, a deadly short-rangt: barrage against the Boehe advancing in mass formation'. These are typical S' many homely and practical special izations being ufilized by the Americans in France and explain whv the Nun is up against it when he smashes the American line, and why the Yanks will keep agoing when once they start lor lJcrlin. thank heaven theotlicial bone head regiine.no longer handicaps the American fighter. FINLAND GETTING- HERS. 17 INLAND is experiencing the glorious benefits of Prus siau rule. Since the Germans -"litered .Finland 73, 000 workmen there have been arrested and many of them have been executed, declared Hugo Naase, minority social ist leader, in a speech in the reichstag. according to a ver batim report published by the Netvolk. The deputy also criticised German rule in Livonia and Kslhonia where simi lar scenes are being enacted. Deputy Naase said: "The list, of those sentenced t( death in Finland contains the names of a former premier and fifty socialist members of parliament, some of whom already have been shot. The town of Svcaborg has been renamed 'Golgotha.' A boy 15 years of age was sentenced to death for picking up a manifesto. For a similar offense a woman named Julia Datt was executed." In Ksthoiiia and Livonia German has been made the official language, though no one understands it. Free speech, free press and political activity have been ruth lessly suppressed by heavy penalties. Germans are plun dering the country and leaving the peoples propertlyless and foodlcss. Belgium has enjoyed German rule for four year?; and deportations of those Belgians not. imprisoned or massa cred, into slavery continues while the systematic looting of the country progresses. Belgian men, women and even children of 1 1 years of age instead of being sent to Ger many to labor as formerly, are now being sent to work in the regions behind the German front in France and Belgium, where they are compelled to dig trenches for their national enemy under the shells of their defenders. They are herded like cattle in vermin infested, disease ridden camps and half starved amid the worst of condi tions. We know what German rule has meant for half a century in Alsace-Lorraine, for over a century in Poland, for several centuries in Mohemia, for several decades in Africa and it is to extent) to these oppressed peoples the principles of the American declaration of independence as well as to prevent German rule in the United States that we are lighting. The world has stood for Prussian fright fulness and medieval tyrannies as long as it is going to and proposes to end for once and all the regime of the Beast of brutalitv.
